Franken Fortis??? (ebay seller limas_watchstudio)

[Kingjamesnel]

I found this fortis on ebay, it's an incredibly deal...almost too incredible. I'm just getting into watches and know near nothing about fortis, but I find it weird their name is not found on the movement. I know the dial has been re-painted which isn't a turnoff for me, because I really like the new blue. What I'm worried about is if the movement is not original. If anyone has any information this would be very helpful as the auction ends in 3 hours. The deal is limras_watchstudio they have a decent rating, but I'm suspicious. Thanks again heres the pictures from the auction.

Welcome to Watchuseek.

Deleted the other post on our Public Forum. One thread here should do the trick, don't you think ?!?

I was trying to move it to the public forum, but couldn't delete this one.

What is Franken referring to? I have seen that term a few times. I assume it parts from a number of watches.

Correct.

I don't like the Fortis, I'd save my money and buy something that is the real deal. I hate repainted dials and the movement looks poorly.

Again, save a bit more and buy something original and authentic, you'll appreciate it more in the long run.

Cheers

The "Fortis" logo on the case back appears to be sandblasted on through a stencil after the fact. And it wasn't done particularly well either.
